I have not made a Christmas Shopping Holiday List post this year (If you’re interested in reading last years posts, go here for 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016 X2). There always are interesting things to buy, for sure. Examples: a 2-person far infrared sauna, or Cuccio Natural Milk & Honey Cuticle Revitalizing Oil. On this blog I’m not promoting mindless consumption. That’s your wife‘s job, if you have one.
2020 has been a horrible year for most people. Working people, that is. With oligarchs…that’s a different story. They gorge and gaggle on on their fat-cow munchies.
The markets have performed surprisingly well (markets don’t care how many people die of Covid, people) , and nothing bested Tesla. Tesla bulls are in haven. Since 2018, Tesla has surged some 1,276%. [Still] The most-shorted stock in history, Tesla is now the 6th biggest company in the U.S. It was added to the S&P 500 Index on Dec. 21.
Tesla (ticker: TSLA) is only the sixth company to reach that milestone[over $600 Bn] in U.S. markets recently, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The others are Amazon.com (AMZN), Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MFST).
Barron’s
“Elon Musk owns 193.3 million Tesla shares, representing 20.7% of total shares outstanding, according to a 13G filing for the period ending December 31, 2019.”

Other than Tesla, of course we know food taxi companies like DoorDash as well as apartment taxicabs such as Airbnb did extremely well this year.
There were other developments in 2020 we have addressed here such as the SPAC Goldrush.
On this blog, however, we don’t write market updates or research.
My focus is bringing forth the knowledge and fortitude rulers hide from their minions. Restoring masculinity and the virtue of the Paterfamilias.
